If you're a pothead, you will LOVE Arcata.
Hmmm. I'll keep that in mind...
Or so I've heard.

.. the western part, anyway.
During May and early June my wife and I, together with our two adult
sons Chris and Jeff, will be taking a road and rail trip around the
western USA (Chris' partner Cassie will be joining us towards the
end of the trip).
We'll be starting in Los Angeles and heading though the South-west
before turning north into the Rockies, up into Montana, across to
Washington and Oregon and finally returning south to our starting
point. Here's a map of the trip (prepared by Chris):

Very cool!
That looks like an awesome trip.
There is a lot of very cool stuff in Portland:
Powell's books
food trucks
psycho donuts
The rismksy korsacoffee house
If you are into Mead, last time I was there
Arcata had about five different meaderies
Excellent, haven't sampled mead for decades. We're actually staying
in Arcata for a couple of nights over the Memorial Day weekend.
Going to try for a few photos of the Kinetic Sculpture Race.
I'll add your Portland suggestions to our ever increasing list! So
much to see; so little time....
There are several of us Bay Area PDMLers.
If you need a base of operations down in
the Santa Cruz mountains, let me know.
Depending on timing, it will either be very
convenient or a bit crowded at our house.
There is going to be a dance camp at my house
over Memorial Day weekend (May 22-27)
But afterwards it'll still be all set up
for hosting lots of visitors.
Thanks - we're booked in to the Mayflower Hotel from 27 to 31 May
so if any PDMLers are available to meet over a cup of coffee, that
would be great. We're doing a day trip to Yosemite on the 29th.
The drive from SF to Ojai looks like it goes down
101. There is some spectacular scenery a bit west
of there, heading down hwy 1. Though it does take
a bit longer to drive.
Actually we aren't driving for that leg. We're catching Amtrak's
Coast Starlight from San Francisco to Oxnard where our friends will
pick us up.
In Ojai, definitely check out the open air
book store.
I'll have to keep that suggestion away from my wife :-)>
